Rite of Passage

Angourie is famous for its freshwater pools which are only metres from the saltwater surf. The Green and Blue Pools have an interesting history which I will do at another time. The focus today is the 'rite of passage' by the local youth in jumping and diving off the cliffs. Yes there have been accidents over the years but for the thousands and thousands of people who have done it over the decades, it seems minimal. However, I'm sure they will try and stop it one day.

Love that post, both the cliff and the big jump. I believe kids should keep such chances to test their young bodies and minds. If everything becomes forbidden we'll have a sad sad world, and more violence in other areas. Male teenagers NEED that sort of outlet for their bursting testosterone. Rather that than hooliganing!
